The Precambrian rocks include a deformed belt of basement metamorphics, granites, and acid volcanics, all overlain by sandstone, in the northwest; and a stable platform (the Sturt Block) overlain by slightly deformed sedimentary rocks in the centre and southeast. The rocks in the deformed belt range in age from Archaean to Adelaidean (late Proterozoic). On the Sturt Block are several Proterozoic groups of sandstone, siltstone, and dolomite. The sequences developed are all shallow-water deposits, and are separated by several regional unconformities. They are overlain by late Adelaidean tillites and associated fluvioglacials. Only minor production of tin, gold, and barite has been recorded, and the major resource presently being exploited is groundwater.Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)ownerCommonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)02 6249 996602 6249 9960Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh DrGPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.aucustodianasNeededGA PublicationBulletingeologythemeEarth SciencesAustralian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC)2008-03-31+11:00publicationAustralian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/1297.0Main%20Features32008?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=1297.0&issue=2008&num=&view=owner9780642483584otherRestrictionslicenselicenseotherRestrictionsCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licenceunclassified500000engutf8geoscientificInformation129.0132.0-18.0-13.0pdfUnknownGeoscience Australia+61 2 6249 9966+61 2 6249 9960GPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.audistributoronLinehttp://www.ga.gov.au/corporate_data/80/Bull_168.pdfWWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--downloadBull_168.pdfDownload the file (pdf) [33 MB]downloaddatasetUnknownunclassified
